The original will book “A” has
become so fragile, with the binding loose and the pages crumbling away, the the
Probate Clerk removed it from the
shelves, and put it away for safe keeping. The probate office is using an
abstracted copy prepared by the Madison County Historian when referring to the
earliest wills.

The following records are made
from those abstracts.

Only a small percentage of early
residents left wills, most of them dying intestate, but no early book of
administrations could be found.
